Thanksgiving wine pairing
Sam has the lineup to make your Thanksgiving extra delicious!
First up, Mouchard Champagneābecause nothing says ācheers to familyā like bubbles, and itās the perfect flex for the salad course too. For the sweet potatoes with those marshmallows (you know the ones), grab a Loire Valley Chenin Blancāslightly sweet and absolutely on point.
Turkey? Meet Arnaud Roberts Truessellāa juicy red thatās basically a turkeyās soulmate. And for dessert, itās all about Solera Champenoise. Nutty, luscious, and ready to make pecan pie feel fancy.
